ESICM 2021
On 3-6 October, the 34th edition of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) will take place. ESICM’s annual congress, called LIVES, attracts audiences of over 6,000 physicians, anesthetists, trainees and nursing and allied health professionals, every year, from every continent.
Because of the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, this year’s editions will once again be a digital event in. This is a unique opportunity to join a network of colleagues from every part of the world and discover the latest groundbreaking science in intensive care medicine. LIVES 2021 will offer discussions and debates, abstract presentations, scientific sessions, live voting and interaction, demonstrations, directly to our community.
Alongside the dynamic debates and interactive demonstrations, ESICM will provide a wide range of resources on the LIVES Digital 2021 Media Library that can be accessed and viewed on-demand.
Antibiotics in Critical Care
This year Lennie Derde will be presenting her expertise on Antibiotics in Critical Care. Her presentation ‘Antibiotics in critical care – From septic shock to stewardship: Domain 1- Initial choice of antibiotics in sepsis’ takes place Monday, October 4, 08:45 – 09:45.
Lennie Derde is intensivist and researcher at the UMC Utrecht and coordinating the REMAP-CAP study. This study has the broad objective to, over time, determine and continuously update the optimal set of treatments for community acquired pneumonia and COVID-19. It is a global network of leading experts, institutions and research networks.
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, REMAP-CAP showed their capability to quickly shift to the pandemic research mode. The trial enrolled over 8000 patients with COVID-19. COMBACTE’s CLIN-Net is performing the site selection for REMAP-CAP in Europe. REMAP-CAP is a clinical trial within the ECRAID-Base project. Read more on REMAP-CAP.
